"He has consistently been one of the highest scoring centre midfield players over the past few seasons." think he hit four premiership goals last season

yeah, scanning the bolton forums when finding info on allardyce, a majority of their fans think he is lazy and completely overrated

totally agree

guessing allardyce seems him as having similar attributes as Nolan and looking to employ him in the team the same way as Nolan does for bolton

"Alan Smith may not have the best goals to game ratio, but he is exactly the type of player that newcastle needs at the moment, he gives 100% everytime he steps on the pitch and has a point to prove, plus he can play in a few positions, midfield and up front which is vital to us as we already have a small squad" problem is he is S**T in all the positions he can play.

over past two friendlies mort and sam seem to be getting on fine in the stands, this has to be complete bollocks, why would the oficial site put together an interview with martins to confirm he is staying then a day later he is on the transfer list

might even have been independant, link was on newsnow but its been taken off, strange

the times reporting that we have put martins up for sale to raise transfer funds

beattie for the love of god choose to take a step down to progress forward!

hope that link is correct and smith wants to go to evrton as he is dog S***

In other news we have had a bid for Alan Smith accepted says who?

seems like he forced his way into team second half of last season, anyone watch emirates cup? psg were supposed to have been really impressive, wonder if he played?

16 starts last season, for the price being banded about dont see harm in bringing him into squad. Never heard of him like but we need numbers

problem with that is duff is out till christmas, Barton is out for two month min,we dont know when emre is back and when he is he will be severly lacking in match practice as will duff.

appiah for me 6-8m far stronger in tackle,can burst through midfield like a train also think baptista could be awesome he hit 20+ goals as an attacking mid for sevilla

"hhhhh, I used to go with the BackPage! Gave up after Villa away in 2005 when we were f****** delayed for an hour and a half after cos some little 14 year old fuckwit got himself nicked for being drunk (he'd been swigging cider secretly stashed in energy drink bottles on the back of the bus.) The fact the bloke running the bus insisted we stopped until Brum's plod released him had me seething. I've taken to getting the train/driving (as is the case for Wednesday) from now on. Enjoy it." aye was also on that bus, worst part was he started to laugh when he got on the bus smirking away, some guy stood up and nearly ripped his head off god knows what would had happened to the kid if we had lost.

Ramage is absolutely awful, Celtic passing us off the park at moment

agreed watching interview and allardyce's quotes, think this deal is on like donkey kong.

yeah read article on bbc,think there may be some substance in this

not great preperation to miss 3 pre season games but not the end of world either.

the article is utterly laughable i simply dont know how this man keeps his job, "Allardyce told me at Hartlepool on Tuesday night that he expected Dyer to be “a major force not only with United but England as well” next season" how the F*** does somebody interpret that and come out with i have a feeling a couple of million will see him sold. the man is the ultimate moron.

interesting who is picked as captain tonight. think it will be Owen.

it will just be like them lawrie sanchez earlier questions about his new signings,questions about future targets how pre-season is going etc...... no doubt conference will be dominatd by the breaking news though.

would be dissappointed if he has said he only wants defenders still think we need a defensive mid to challenge Butt and ofcourse Deco would be unreal as a floating playmaker.
